How to leave...

Those of you that had experienced/know anyone that have left an abusive relationship, how did you go about actually leaving? I'm non confrontational by nature, coupled with the fear of being convinced to stay (again), I'm scared I won't be able to do it. DH wakes up late (think 1pm) so was thinking of slowly packing some essentials and leaving quietly early in the day while he's asleep. Would this be an awful idea? I have to factor in a 14 month old as well.

Well done!!! And well done for blocking people who have no interest in helping you

Thank you 😊 I contacted my narc DF and all he had to say was "best wishes, bye" - that did make me laugh! Onwards and upwards with zero men controlling my life :)

Do you mean your dad by DF?

Fancy fucking saying that to your daughter

arinah · 11/04/2021 14:18

Sorry @StephenBelafonte I meant my dad, in my head I just say DF as dickhead father 😂

You will make such a difference to your child’s life by taking this action. Be kind to yourself. You deserve the very best.

yeah he is a dickhead father. Just useless really, like mine was. Crack on without him.

Oh wow. Well bloody done for getting away. Many won't be able to- the psychological hold of the abuser over them is too strong! Wishing you and your daughter an amazing future.
